the point is that few Republicans would vote for a ban on CFCs because 'american jobs marxism transgender not enough guns or bibles' so it would not get done.
being an idealist and believing in democracy leaves you destroyed by the tragedy of the commons.
Interesting how quickly you guys give up on democracy when something might not go your way.
it's tricky, sure. Obviously the trickiness is why we don;t have a pure democracy...we have a representative democracy. And furthermore, the Congress has delegated how spend the money to the executive branch because Congress doesn't have the time to tell how the dollars are spent on complicated things.
The success of democracy is mostly in its ability to kick out bad rulers. It does not mean we send our best to govern or make good decisions. We also need non-elected bureaucrats to keep the nation safe and sound. None of this is easy and sure there will be some over regulation, but that doesn't mean we should have CFCs, lead paint, lead gasoline, weak fire and flood regulations etc because legislators can't agree on it.
Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Missouri, Kentucky wish they could be “dying” like California.
California is being kept alive because it's the primary port of entry from Asia and the weather nice. Anyone who thinks liberal policies have anything to do with California's wealth is a f*cking moron.
The weather will always be nice and the port from Asia will be there too. So are you retracting your idiotic statement that California is dying?

Do some reading. You know literally nothing about California or its finances.. lol.

The middle class is fleeing California in droves. California's population is one of like 3 states in whole country that's actually shrinking. The other two are New York and West Virginia. West Virginia is dying because Democrats killed the coal industry. New York and California are dying because people don't like living under far left policies.
Ultimately, the impact of this year’s negative returns and unfunded public pension liabilities affect contributions required to be made by the state government and any local government that partici…
Decades of corruption and cash giveaways to buy votes are coming home to roost. As the state's population flees leaving only the ultra rich and the poor there will be no tax dollars left despite having the highest taxes in the country.
California lawmakers are pushing legislation that would impose a new tax on the state’s wealthiest residents — even if they’ve already moved to another part of the country.
Taking people's freedom away to "protect" other people is tyranny.
The nanny state is a terrible idea.
There's a reason California is dying.
Uh, what? You aren’t free to harm other people.
Also, is California dying? Last time I went it seemed fine. Was pretty fun
People have fled the state in droves since COVID. In the past three years they had enough net domestic migration out of California to exceed the entire population of Vermont (California was not alone. New York, New Jersey, Illinois, and Michigan witnessed similar exoduses). The unemployment rate since the early 90s has typically been about 2% higher than the national average. It has the largest percentage of homeless individuals in the nation. It is the most impoverished state in the nation when looking at the Supplemental Poverty Measure. They are looking at a $25 billion shortfall for their upcoming budget year now that they can no longer bail themselves out at the federal level. Those are not exactly signs of a place that is thriving.
I'll tell you this much. China wouldn't be launching goddam balloons at vulnerable Americans if Trump was still in power. They know Biden doesn't have the fortesimals to shoot the goddam balloons down. If that goddam thing was hovering over Manhattan when Trump was in command, he would have blown it sky goddam high. I'm talking Hellfires, SAM-winders, chaff magnets, hypertensile ballistic missiles. Trump would blow the living p!ss out of Chinese balloons.
Any state that would elect Adam Schiff, Pelosi, Swalwell, Feinstein, and Porter deserves to be decline. Especially Swalwell.
We are less than 2 weeks from the Hunter Biden investigation that will absolutely destroy the corrupt Biden administration. Unfortunately, this will install Kamala Harris (Antifa financer) as our president, but Trump will wipe the floor with her in 2024.
If we have definitive proof that gas stoves cause asthma and other health problems (in children no less), why wouldn’t we want to ban them at least from being used in newly constructed houses? I’m sure newly constructed buildings have to follow all sorts of rules and regulations for safety reasons.
If gas stoves caused asthma there'd be a hell of a lot more children with asthma.
So . . . you don't understand the concept of causing something in a percentage of cases that is not 100%?
I know none of us are asthma experts or anything like that, and the gas stove thing has been politicized so much that we probably have Fox News telling you the research is dubious and NPR telling me the research is true and all that, but if we have definitive research showing a product to be harmful, I want my regulatory agencies to have the power to ban the product or initiate a recall. The immediate reason is because the product is dangerous. We have new homes being built right now with stoves that could give kids asthma. It seems stupid to just let that happen.
Who decides what is and isn't "definitive research"? And where do I go to vote them out when they're wrong?
If you want to ban gas stoves, draft a bill. If it doesn't pass, you fail. Democracy.
Yeah hard to say. Definitive research could mean nothing to one side of the political spectrum. You’ll never know when they’re wrong because you aren’t an expert in whatever is being researched, but when has that ever stopped anyone from giving their opinion? Never stopped me!
I'll shoot the goddam thing down, if Biden won't. I swear to J. Christ, I will fvcking blast that balloon back to goddam Peking. Americans need to stand up for our god granted rights in the Constitution.
Reported today: the lowest unemployment rate in 53+ years and hundreds of thousands of new jobs.
WSJ:
The U.S. added 517,000 jobs last month as hiring accelerated. The unemployment rate fell to 3.4%, the lowest rate in more than 53 years
isn’t the economy supposed to tank this year? Fall off a cliff? Do something bad? If inflation comes down and we haven’t cratered by 2024, re-election should be no problem.
I have a friend that loves his Fox News. Immediately after the Biden win he gobbled up all the doom and gloom about the coming economic disaster. But he was especially buying into the Biden is causing $9.00 gas fake crisis.
He went out and paid $55,000+ for a hybrid SUV and now says it is the biggest POS he wasted his money on. It is a Santa Fe. I am not commenting on whether a hybrid or electric car is a good or bad decision. But it was a case study for me on how fox news can strongly cause people to make hasty and stupid decisions because of their partisan fear machine.
All these Fox news doom and gloom storylines never come to pass but the fox news viewers continue to torture themselves by believing the latest.
By the way, when do we go full communism like was predicted in the run up of the 2020 election?

I don't know. I guess it depends on if the world ends in 2031 like the Democrats told us it would.
Hold on. I'm confused. The jobs report is good for the liberals, right? Why would you re-emphasize it?! Jesus Christ, can we stay on message here? The ONLY reason the liberals got a good job report is because of the groundwork Trump laid down for them.
